It's Saturday. Again. Already. How in the world did this happen? It seriously does not feel like another week has gone by. It doesn't even feel like I've been through the first week of classes. Well, I guess this is true because it wasn't really a full week of classes, just two full days and orientation for freshmen. So really, only like a half a week of school. Which at the same time, is really weird.

Time seems to be flying, but at the same time, each period of classes drag by like nobody's business. Plus, extra pressure is put on me to do the research to prepare the kids for things like the livestock judging competition when none of us here know how to livestock judge. I never thought I'd be put up to something like this, but it's totally cool. I'm up to a challenge.

A lot of it really reminds me of when I was in high school, only instead of being forced to sit through everything, I get to help present everything to the kids, which I guess is the general idea behind teaching. But especially because HRV is kinda my stomping grounds even though I never officially went to any classes here, my dog 4-H group used to meet in one of the classrooms that I now teach in with Mrs Bozarth. I may not have been in real livestock 4-H or FFA, but I knew just about all the innerworkings of how FFA works, and how the ag classes work and what all goes on in them. I'll have to say that even though I was homeschooled, the kids don't seem to care (they actually seem to appear as if it's awesome that I might have been a nerd/loser in the past, but have been able to overcome this and am now doing something cool), and the teachers I am working with don't mind and haven't been rude or condescending at all, which I had anticipated, but am so thankful to not have had any problems with it so far, which is amazing.
